The talented Dionne James knows the meaning of hard work, perseverance, discipline and success. A Native of Queens New York had a humble beginning under the tutelage of Tulani Kinard who laid a foundation beyond her expectations.

Honed with unique skills, yet always eager for increasing knowledge, Dionne continued her studies under Marion Council George and Clem lue Yat the Weave Master.

In 1992 Dionne opened the first exclusive Natural Hair Care Salon in Richmond, Virginia, called The Essence of Braiding & Weaving. Dionne‘s sought after signature hairstyles gradually revealed a need to share her knowledge and skills; therefore in 1999 she started offering 2 day seminars on braiding with step by step DVDs.

An opportunity presented itself for Dionne to work at a non surgical hair replacement clinic, where Dionne passionately helped women and men suffering from major hair loss due to Chemotherapy, Alopecia, and stress. In an effort to rebuild her clients confidence she began offering Laser Hair Therapy, non surgical hair replacements, integration systems, hair prosthesis and many other custom made hair loss solutions.
